A judge's ruling allows a lawsuit to proceed against former U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema.

The lawsuit stems from her relationship with a security detail member. Sinema had argued that she could not be sued in a particular state due to lack of connection. However, the judge found that her interactions with the individual in question, including text messages, established a sufficient link.

The lawsuit seeks financial damages and was filed by the ex-wife of the security detail member involved. Further details about the case and the ruling are available. The outcome of the lawsuit is not yet known.
